Setuid and setgid files (2) (?)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.

I thought there is another 'easier' way to get a list of setuid and setgid. I think I read somewhere in the Internet on how to find files with setuid and setgid. By using 'find' or 'ls'. Can anyone tell me how ?
